For the seventh time, Kara flys around the planet as everything about it feels foreign like, it once did. Tears start to appear in her eyes as she no longer feels at home. Since everything from the earth sun to the oxygen makes her want to crawl out of her skin. She decides to fly back to her apartment and to her sister who must be very worried.
"Are you ready to talk about it?" Alex, says holding up two gallons of ice cream when she sees Kara landing in the apartment. "I don't get it, Alex, I should feel like my whole world ended again but instead I feel like I don't know," she says throwing herself onto the couch. "It's that a bad thing? I mean sure it would be understandable that you are somewhat upset. But I'm not quite sure if to the point where you feel like your world ended." she says placing ice cream, pizzas, and pot-stickers on the table before sitting down next to her sister. "I mean for Rao sake I get more upset at someone eating my pot-stickers than at Mon-El leaving. Mon-El, my boyfriend whom I was supposed to spend my life with." Kara says grabbing some chocolate ice cream and pizza. "Have you consider that you may perhaps be in shock," Alex says stroking her sister curls.
"Try again," she says swallowing a mouthful of ice cream. "I already used that excuse I just don't understand why this keeps happening to me. I start daydreaming as well as feeling butterflies for guys just to date them later on and feel nothing. I'm beginning to believe that there is no one out there for me and that I will never have what you have with Maggie." Her eyes swam with tears as she nuzzles her head into her sister's neck. "Oh, my beautiful Kara you don't know what you are saying. Anyone who marries you will be fortunate to have you in their life," she says holding Kara's chin up. "Now how about we watch something on Nexflits. I have been, wanting to watch this show called Last Tango in Halifax for a while now, and I'm sure you would like it."
"You sounded a little too much like Eliza," She says sniffing as she gets a blanket to cover both of them. "Kara!" Alex says shrugging at her sister words. As they binge watch the show, Lena cross Kara's mind for the time in a week. "Oh Rao Alex, Lena I need to go see her and say thank you," Kara gets up in a hurry just as Alex grabs her by the risk. "Wow slow down buddy its one in the morning I'm sure Lena is asleep beside you can go see her in the morning," she says pulling her sister back down on the couch. "You're right I'll take her out for lunch tomorrow and thank her for everything," she says as she yawns.
The next morning Kara gets up early and heads out to eat a delicious breakfast at Noonan's. The sun couldn't be more radiant and yellow. And the sky is as blue as Kara's eyes and some birds sing in the distance.
"good morning," Kara says with a huge smile almost blinding James and Cat. "what's all the fuss about," she says when she sees everyone scramble around. "Lena Luthor has called a press conference for the first time since the Daxamite invasion. I want to know everything about it and why are you still standing here?" Cat says dismissing Kara. "And Kira gets some quotes from Lena Luthor," she says as she goes into her office. "Yes Mrs. Grant," she says with a blinding bright smile.
There are a lot of Reporters at L-Corp when Kara arrives waiting for Lena to address them. And the mere thought of seeing Lena makes her feel a tickling sensation in her stomach. Her smile seems to be now permanent and getting impossibly bigger as she sees Jess getting ready to start the press conference.
"Good afternoon everybody and thank you for being here today I will start the press conference by reading the following statement from Mrs. Luthor." Kara frowns in confusion at Jess words.
As I step down as CEO of L-Corp, I can assure the people of National City that the company is in good hands and it will continue to be a force for good. The core values of L-Corp will always lay on been a leading organization that positively impacts the lives of all living species. Regardless, of whether they are native to planet earth or not. Therefore, the new CEO and the board members of L-Corp will see that the company's technology is used, in a wisely way and that it serves as a pioneer. Having said that, I will like to express my gratitude to members of the press for their time.
Tears shimmered in Kara's eyes at the news that Lena has left and she was not aware. She tries to hold back the urge to cry as she is in a crowd full of reporters.
"Without further a due please, welcome Mr. Schott the new CEO of L-Corp," Jess says trying not to cringe at her own words. Winn trembles to the podium as is set to address the press.
"mmm good afternoon I'm Winn Schott, and I will be running L-Corp in the absence of Mrs. Luthor. As CEO my goal will be to ensure that the company thrives on the success it has until this day. I will drive the company to explore new markets while using its resource in a good productive way. Having said that does anyone h-have q-questions?" Winn says nervously.
By now tears are running down Kara's cheeks as they make their way to her mouth she can taste the bitterness she is feeling. She squeezed her eyes shut to stop tears from flooding them more. But they just burst out with the strength of a river in spring.
Soon enough reporters start to shout out questions at Winn making him sweat nervously. "Why did Mrs. Luthor step down as CEO of her company?" one reporter shouts. "I don't have the information I'm sorry," Winn answer as best as he can. " Is Mrs. Luthor returning and if so when is she returning?" another reporter yells. "I don't have the information either sorry," he says feeling dizzy as reporters keep asking questions. "Are we then to assume that you are now permanently the CEO of L-Corp?" someone shouts out from the back. "I-I," Winn is about to answer when Jess steps in to end the round of questions. "Unfortunately there is no more time for questions have a good evening and thank you for coming," Jess says politely dismissing them.
After the press conference ended, Kara follows Winn inside L-Corp as he has a lot of explaining to do. Her whole body is trembling as she processes the information she just received.
Once inside Lena's office, or rather Winn's office now Kara takes a deep breath holding some tears back."Wi-Winn," she says swallowing thickly while looking at him with glossy eyes. "Why are you the CEO of L-Corp and where is Lena?" Kara says clenching her jaw as well as her fists. "According to Lena, she doesn't need to be the CEO of her company which is why I am the CEO now. Regarding where she is I truly don't know I'm so sorry Kara." Kara wishes she was deaf so she wouldn't listen to Winn's words while she looks at the ceiling as tears pour out of her eyes not wanting to look at him. She takes a deep breath one more time before leaving the office that once was Lena's.
"Kara," someone is calling after her as she is leaving and she turns around. "Jess oh hi," she says trying to smile but failed. "Mrs. Luthor asked me to give you this personally," she says handing Kara a letter as she tries to smile. After receiving the letter, Kara heads out to her apartment to read it.
Dear Kara I am sorry for hurting you the way I did as it was never my intention to cause you pain. In no way, I intended to break your heart thus ruining your life. I should have taken care of our friendship better and cherished it more when I had the chance to. If I hadn't been so caught on trying to prove to the people of National City that I was different from my family the invasion wouldn't have happened. The sins of my family will, always pour on me and there is nothing I can do about it. I am truly sorry Kara I hope you can one day find it in your heart to forgive me.
Kara now wishes she was blind as she can see Lena's tears imprinted on the letter as in some words the ink has run down. She can also smell Lena's unique fragrance on the paper. Kara's eyes have become an ocean of tears and her heart the black sea. A familiar ache runs through her bones which terrify her.
"Kara, open the door please Winn told me what happened," Alex says with concern in her voice. But when Kara doesn't open the door she uses the key her sister gave her to get in. "Everything is going to be alright I promise you," Alex says as she kneels down in front of her sister who is sitting down with her knees up against her chest. "A-Alex it h-hurts so much that is hard to b-breathe. It feels like m-my whole w-world just e-," she says hyperventilating in her sob as she throws herself into her sister's arms. "ended," Alex says rubbing her sister back as to soothe her
"Oh, Rao Alex what am I suppose to do now, what I'm going to do?" Kara says as her eyes widened. "I c-can't breathe I need to get some fresh air," she says standing up. "Kara you can't go fly right now a storm is approaching," but before can do anything Kara out the window flying towards the storm.
The lightning upon the gray sky reflects on Kara's red glossy eyes. Soon enough rains start pouring upon her while she flights to the center of the storm in hope to find peace. In hopes to ceases her pain just like the storm does.
